this is true! u guys DO know that theyre not making profit, like all the other new consoles, on the actual console price itself, right? they make the money off the games...$250 for a 2006/7 console is really cheap plus 2007 technology and features cost more since its overall better and costs more anyways! the PS3, altho i want it, is gonna b $600.00 with everything...$450 for the simpler version...and i dont know if THEY r even making profit...if its too expensive then dont get it...for the ppl complaining that they r "too poor", then u should invest in something other than gaming altogether...ur wasting ur life and money if thats the case

i take it your referring to me, well you shouldn't jump to conclusions saying i'm wasting my life and money. i just have a limited budget with food, car bills, college tution and all this other mess your learn about when your older. I just dont think its fare that they force you to buy wii sports since i'll only be able to afford (after i've paid all the bills) 1 or two games because i'd rather choose the ones i want.

For he is God's servant to do thee good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the servant of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Romans 13:4

This is actually incorrect, check out what Reggie said on the matter. I'm not against them making a profit, it's a great business model, but I do think for $250 we should get 2 controllers, or a version without wii sports for $199.

Everything is more expensive than it should be. Which doesn't mean I won't be getting the wii, it just means I won't be buying as many games as I was planning to.

And for the prices they've announced on VC games, I won't be buying even one. I bought a lot of great gamecube games for only $15. Sure, they were gamer's choice value titles, but that's only $5 more than they'll be chraging for old N64 titles! $5 for NES titles is just way too much. NES games should be 99 cents, with SNES games at $1.99 and N64 games at $4.99. At those prices I would buy tons of them. At the current announced pricing I won't even buy one.
